Some homeopaths solve problems that allopathic doctors are unable to. Still it may be a placebo thing, but it is a valid option because it can work, and it is less quacky than quacks.
I am one of the unfortunate ones that, during a double-blind test, became addicted to placebos. My life is now a living hell. I can’t fine any good placebos anywhere. I go to the drug store and say “throw me a life saver”, they give me butterscotch.
Also homeopathy.

“may be a placebo”
My friend, there is no “may”.

Also, you can buy Tic Tacs from any newsagent or gas station.
Not to defend homeopathy, but a big part of why placebo works is how we percieve the medicine/treatment.
Tic tacs wouln’t work as well as fake medicine (aka homeopathy) because they don’t look as “official”.
It is exactly as quacky as quacks.
